Following your error code. I found this registry entry, for my VDD. Perhaps you can compare yours to it.

Of course the "---" are to make sure this sites code didn't run everything together.


VDD------REG_MULTI_SZ-----C:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\S32EVNT1.DLL

Hi,

In Win2K, the command prompt is "cmd.exe".
I see the string "command.exe" in the message.
In Win9x, it's command.exe. Did you really
run cmd.exe or command.exe? How did you run
it? Start->Run... and type "cmd"?

I think command.exe doesn't run on Win2K.

Regards,
Dai

Command.exe and cmd.exe both work fine in Win2K
